Opinion: The new renewable revolution: Why carbon dioxide removal will transform the carbon market

A Greener Life

The technology underpinning the most accessible CDR projects is pyrolysis, which transforms agricultural waste and other organic material into a compound called biochar, sequestering carbon that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere through decomposition. In 2024, biochar-based projects accounted for 86% of CDR purchases by volume.

Three sustainable fuels that could be the future of green aviation

A Greener Life

If the hydrogen is generated using renewable electricity (known as green hydrogen) and the carbon dioxide is captured from the atmosphere, models have shown it to have zero, or very close to zero, carbon emissions. It is made by combining hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Recent findings from the World Meteorological Organization predict a 50:50 chance at least one year between 2022 and 2026 will exceed 1.5°C
